Discovery of a gene that increases the risk of corona It attacks the respiratory tract in some species

Scientists at the University of Oxford have discovered a gene that could double the risk of respiratory failure leading to the death of corona patients, according to data released by Nature Genetics.

The researchers noted that more than 60% of people of South Asian descent transmitted high-risk genetic signals, which, in addition to the impact of the Govit virus, could explain the huge increase in deaths among these groups across the UK. In India ..

The Oxford study revealed that the LZTFL1 gene is present in only 15% of people of European descent and 2% of people of African-Caribbean descent. Scientists have discovered DNA that doubles the risk of death in adults under the age of 65 caused by the corona virus.

Genes

However, the team of scientists did not know exactly how the genetic signal to increase risk works, or whether the nature of the mutation is responsible. However, genetic-level association studies are important to identify candidate genes and pathways that lead to complex diseases and ultimately to approved drugs.

The researchers also found that the LZTFL1 gene was linked to type 1 diabetes, autoimmune disease and multiple sclerosis.

Artificial intelligence

A recent study by an artificial intelligence algorithm developed by a team of scientists led and supervised by Professor James Davis and Professor Jim Hughes of the University of Oxford said there was uncertainty about the effects on genes. , And how health risks develop, but there is a risk of mutations affecting the DNA and activating the dangerous gene when it is infected with the corona.

The study also found that genetic signaling can affect lung cells. The researchers used the technology to “multiply DNA” and identify the specific gene controlled by the sequence, which increased the risk of acute and chronic symptoms in some corona patients.
